Sure Euro choo choo's get better fuel ecconomy, lower horsepower, no airco, and biggest problem no signal detection.
The Europeans had to completely revamp their signal systems from track current detection to axle counters since the light weight trains do not shunt the circuits.
Even the Israeli(danish) trains that Amtrak tested would disapear of dispatchers boards when run with 6 cars coupled.
as single units the 3 car DMU's were a signal maintainers nightmare.
